SECTION 2 The Zoning Map of the City of Pleasanton, dated April 18, 1960, on file with the City Clerk, designating the dividing of the City into zoning districts, is hereby amended by Zoning Unit Map No. 505, attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated December 17, 2019, and incorporated herein by this reference. SECTION 3 With respect to the Planned Unit Development application, the City Council makes the following findings and determinations with respect to each of the considerations for approval of a PUD Development Plan as required by Section 18.68.110 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC): 1. Whether the plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare: The City Council finds that the Project is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare for the following reasons: • The Project would provide a wide range of commercial uses within an existing commercial district in the City, allowing for more effective utilization of an already-developed property. • The site is adequately buffered from surrounding residential uses by major roadways or existing commercial uses. • The project would adequately mitigate any potential impacts to nearby intersections, such that they would operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS). • The Project is compatible with the adjacent uses and would be consistent with the existing scale and character of the area. • Adequate setbacks would be provided between the new structures and the existing structures on the adjacent properties. • Because some of the proposed uses would be subject to Conditional and Minor Conditional Use Permit approval, the City could impose additional conditions of approval on these particular uses if warranted based on the characteristics of the use and traffic, parking and other conditions at the time of approval. 2. Whether the plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan: The Project conforms to the General Plan "Retail, Highway, and Service Commercial/Business and Professional Offices" Land Use designation for the subject parcel. The subject parcel is located on the north side of Owens Drive and is surrounded by commercial and office uses. The proposed project would be compatible the surrounding uses. The proposed floor area ratio (FAR) of 30.73%
